and delighted audience, she appearing in

an excellent company.
ALBAuGHs-J. X. EMMETT.
Joe Emmet, who as "Fritzn won popu-
larity second TO none iu the country, and
who more than any other actor and singer
has come the closest to the hearts of the
thousands who have sat within the charmed
circle of his wonderful magnetism, will
come again next week, and In "FritZ, Our
Cousin German, will sing again the old
songs and smile that smile once more.
Comment on '.Fritz" is unnecessary The
character is known tho country over and
the magic OF the name is greater than col
umns'of notices aud strungout miles OF
three-sheet posters.
THE BIJou-'oNE OF THE BRAvEsT.n
''One OF the Bravest," which appears at
the Bijou next Monday and runs for the
week, is sensational in Its premises and
moral In Its conclusions. The scene Is laid
in New York, and the action OF the play
does not extend beyond the limits of that
city. There is comedy and tragedy in 1t,
weeping and laughing, joy and sorrow, love
and matrimony, the light and the dark side
OF life. The fire scene is reality, and Mr..
Cronin's Mrs. Grogan is something once
seen cannot be forgotten.

tion the Pittsburg Leader says: SIT was
success from beginning to end, and the
crowd laughed until they could scarcely
laugh any more. The burlesque, 'Oxygln,'
pleased every body. The Davenport Bros
are old favorites In Pittsburg, and were
greeted with rounds of applause. Allie
Smi,b, in her jigs and reels, was excellent.
Her duet with Fannie Bloodgood was well
received"
